This specification relates to certain heteroaromatic compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that inhibit TEAD, and their use in treating cancer. This specification also relates to processes and intermediate compounds involved in the preparation of the heteroaromatic compounds and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
The Hippo pathway is a highly conserved signaling pathway that controls organ size and tissue maintenance through the regulation of gene expression programs involved in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation (Dong et al., Cell 2007, 1120-33; Ma et al., Ann Rev Biochem 2018, 577-604 and references therein). Hippo ultimately regulates the transcription coactivators Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) which bind to DNA-bound Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain proteins (TEAD1-4) to form bipartite transcription complexes that activate TEAD-dependent gene expression. The core of the Hippo pathway consists of a tightly regulated kinase signaling cascade. When Hippo signaling is active, the kinases LATS1/2 phosphorylate YAP/TAZ which causes these proteins to be sequestered in the cytoplasm or degraded by the proteasome. When Hippo signaling is inactive, LATS1/2 are inactivated resulting in YAP/TAZ to be dephosphorylated and subsequently translocated into the nucleus to interact with and activate TEAD-dependent transcription (Meng et al., Genes&Dev 2016, 1-17).
Hippo signaling is a well-established tumor suppressor pathway and data from The Cancer Genome Atlas show that the Hippo pathway is one of eight signaling pathways that are frequently altered in human cancer (Sanchez-Vega et al., Cell 2018, 321-337). Both genetic and epigenetic alterations of Hippo components can result in aberrant activation of YAP/TAZ and TEAD-dependent transcription and have been implicated in several human malignancies (Wang et al., 2018, 1304-1317). NF2 (aka Merlin) is encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene and is a key upstream regulator of the Hippo core kinase cascade consisting of STE20-like protein kinase 1 (STK3, aka MST2, and STK4, aka MST1), the large tumor suppressors (LATS1 and LATS2), and adaptor proteins Salvador homolog 1 (SAV1) and MOB kinase activators (MOB1A/MOB1B) (Tapon et al., Cell 2002, 467-478). Loss of function mutations or deletions in pathway components have been reported in several cancer types including mesothelioma, breast, liver, lung, prostate, gastric, and colorectal tumors (Poma et al., Scientific Reports 2018, volume 8, Article number: 10623; Zancanato et al., Cancer Cell 2016, 783-803 and references therein).
Because several Hippo pathway components are tumor suppressors where dysfunction results in aberrant TEAD-dependent transcription, targeting TEAD offers a potential opportunity for therapy.
The compounds of the specification provide an anti-cancer effect by, as a minimum, acting as TEAD inhibitors.
The compounds of the specification may also exhibit advantageous physical properties (for example, lower lipophilicity, higher aqueous solubility, higher permeability, lower plasma protein binding, and/or greater chemical stability), and/or favourable toxicity profiles (for example a decreased activity at hERG), and/or favourable metabolic or pharmacokinetic profiles, in comparison with other known TEAD inhibitors. Such compounds may therefore be especially suitable as therapeutic agents, particularly for the treatment of cancer.

Compounds were dosed with a final DMSO concentration of 1% (v/v). Compound IC50 values were assessed following a 10-point, half-log10 dilution schema starting at 100 μM compound concentration. Specifically, human TEAD protein from TEAD4(217-434) was cloned into an overexpression vector, expressed as an N-terminal HIS-TEV-Avi-tagged fusion protein in E coli, and subsequently purified, then protein was chemically depalmitoylated & biotinylated. The assay was performed in 384-well LV plates (384-well black, medium binding, PS, HIBASE, GREINER #784076) and run in the presence and absence of the compound of interest. Each well of 5 μL assay mixture contained 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 0.05 mM EDTA, 1 mM TECP, 1% DMSO, 0.03% Pluronic acid F127, 20 nM dePal Avi TEAD4 (217-434)-depalmitoylated & biotinylated protein, 0.8 nM Streptavidin Terbium cryptate (CisBio #610SATLB), 625 nM FAM labelled Probe A. Reactions were incubated at 25° C. for 120 min before reading on a PHERASTAR FSX Plate Reader (337 520 490 HTRF module required) (Supplier BMP).
The data file from the PHERAstar FSX contains both the acceptor (520 nm) and donor channels (490 nm) (“Channel A”=acceptor channel (520 nm), “Channel B”=donor channel (490 nm)). The ratio of the donor and acceptor (Channel A/Channel B) is calculated within Genedata Assay Analyzer. Subsequently, the dose-response of the ratio to testing compound concentration was fitted to a select fit model that will provide the best fit quality using automatic parameter (SMARTFIT) to derive IC50 values for each testing compound.
Probe A is 3′,6′-dihydroxy-3-oxo-N-{8-[2-(5-{2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)anilino]phenyl}-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)acetamido]octyl}-3H-spiro[[2]benzofuran-1,9′-xanthene]-5-carboxamide;

In order for an oral compound to reach the site of action, and in order for oral absorption from the gut to occur, that compound must be in solution, and therefore compounds which possess high intrinsic solubility may be more suitable for pharmaceutical use. The thermodynamic solubility of a research compound is measured under standard conditions. It is a shake-flask approach that uses 10 mM DMSO solutions which are supplied from the Compound Managements liquid store and is a high throughput method. The dried compounds are equilibrated in an aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for 24 hours at 25° C., the portion with the dissolved compound is then separated from the remains. The solutions are analyzed and quantified using UPLC/MS/MS, QC-samples are incorporated in each assay-run to ensure the quality of the assay.
Human plasma protein binding is a key factor in controlling the amount of free (unbound) drug available for binding to target and hence plays an important role in the observed efficacy of drugs in vivo. Therefore, compounds which possess high free fraction (low levels of plasma protein binding) may exhibit enhanced efficacy relative to a compound with similar potency and exposure levels. The automated equilibrium dialysis assay in human plasma uses the RED (Rapid Equilibrium Dialysis) Device and sample handling. The assay generally runs over two to three days including delivery of results. After dialysis for 18 hours, plasma and buffer samples are prepared for analysis by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Samples are generally tested in singlicates and quantified by LC/MSMS by using a 7-point calibration curve in plasma. The compounds are pooled together in plasma pools up to 10 compounds. Three reference compounds are used in each run, Propranolol, Metoprolol and Warfarin. Warfarin is used as a control in each pool and Propranolol and Metoprolol are placed randomly in each run. An in-house Excel macro is used for preparation of files for the robot and the mass spectrometer and is also used for the calculations of fraction unbound (fu %) in plasma.
